Welcome to the hub for We Fall to Rise: a ROTTMNT AU project!

[wefalltorise]

Welcome to WFTR!

We Fall to Rise is a ROTTMNT AU project created by @qiibbyy and @deletedhq

Separated immediately following his sons' mutations, Hamato Yoshi believes those 4 baby turtles to be lost forever, and he is forced to run and hide, away from the Hidden City. However, the baby turtles were alive and well, and now Draxum must carry out his plan of preparing his super soldiers until they are ready for war.

We Fall to Rise is a complete re-write of the ROTTMNT series, following the brothers as they are trained by Draxum and prepared to carry out their task of destroying the humans. This series is an overarching letter of family and trust with elements of angst and hurt/comfort.

Roll Call

B-4, aka Blaze

The Unnerving Soldier

“I’m not Blaze anymore, Snapper. I’m Professor Violent Punch right now, and you should know that Professor Violent Punch takes his patients very, very seriously.”

Blaze is the youngest of his brothers. Around Draxum, Blaze is quiet, calm, and controlled. However, when Draxum is gone, like a struck match, Blaze becomes his true self. He is an arsonist and pyromaniac at heart, but despite his destructive and chaotic nature, Blaze is very sweet and caring. He has the unique ability of somehow always managing to combine his love of fire with his passion for art, making rather explosive works of art. Blaze cares for his brothers more than anything in the world, willing to do whatever it takes to be there for them whenever they may need the comfort.

Species: Box Turtle

Age: 13

Weapon(s): Mystic Kusari-fundo

Roll Call

RS-1, aka Ronin

The Rebellious Leader

“Whatever, fine. We’ll leave the stupid bugs alone. In other news, how much money will you give me to push the buttons on his little console over here?”

Ronin is the third oldest of his brothers. He is as defiant as they come, going against nearly every one of Draxum’s rules in favor of doing what he wants. Quick-witted and incredibly strategic, Ronin is capable of creating complex and layered plans on the fly, but he’d much rather sneak out late at night than to lead like Draxum wants. His fiery temper oftentimes gets the best of him and causes him to act out, though deep down he just wants positive attention and to finally prove that he’s as capable as he claims to be. Despite being the leader of the unit, Ronin oftentimes feels as if his ‘role’ is the only thing he has to offer in comparison to his brothers. But you won’t hear him admit that.

Species: Red-Eared Slider

Age: 14

Weapon(s): Mystic Ōdachi

[wefalltorise]

Roll Call

SS-3, aka Sebastian

The Golden Child

“It doesn’t matter how I feel about him. Feelings are irrelevant when it comes to aiding him in his goal, which we were created for, by the way.”

Sebastian is the second oldest of his brothers. He believes tech is the answer to (nearly) everything, and as such he boasts his intelligence in comparison to his brothers. Sebastian is often working on inventions for Draxum, various things such as weapons, traps, or anything with a degree of lethality (though he has a few personal projects he’s working on…). Sebastian flaunts an ego, a mask that hides his feelings of believing the only approval he can receive is for his work. He follows Draxum to a T, ready and willing to serve his created purpose.

Species: Spiny Softshell Turtle

Age: 14 (+ 3 months)

Weapon(s): Mystic Staff

Roll Call

S-2, aka Snapper

The Protective Tank

“Enough, the both of you! Stop it with your middle child nonsense. The sooner we get done with this, the sooner you both can go back to whatever it was that you were doing. Okay?”

Snapper is the oldest of his brothers. He is often given the task of ‘keeping his brothers in line,’ though he would have taken that role even if it had never been assigned. Snapper thinks with his fists but also his heart, thus his anger at their… situation sometimes boils over. He does not care for Baron, or many of his plans, but he wishes to remain under the man’s radar, opting instead to keep his brothers safe rather than imposing their creator.

What is your comic about? Is it an AU?

We Fall to Rise is a ROTTMNT au project! It’s currently in the process of being written as a fic series, though we’re planning to one day release it as a comic as well!

The basic synopsis of the fic is Hamato Yoshi is separated from the turtles immediately following their mutation. As such, he himself never mutates, though he’s run out of the Hidden City, unable to save his sons. Baron Draxum raises the turtles himself, preparing them to serve their purpose as weapons that will destroy the human threat
